my brother and his wife just had their baby last night. that makes me an uncle! wooohooo!

music related - anyone have those cds that i believe are called Baby IQ, a series of cds with classical music on them?

i suppose we could get into a discussion on whether or not listening to classical music makes your kid smarter, but all i really want to know if those Baby IQ compilations are quality cds with good sound (you can get them for $4.99 and look kinda generic-y)

I was a great-uncle by the time I was 20 because I have a nephew who's only a year younger than me.

Congratulations!
And I think you're referring to baby Mozart series?
No?

Anyway, just get the kid some Ramones CDs and (s)he'll be all right.

My oldest brother was born in 1948. I was born in 1966, so my two younger brothers were younger than my oldest brother's kid.

My mom had 13 kids between 1948 and 1969.

She says "blame your father."
